Abstract: In the system reliability analysis,dynamic fault trees analysis has been used as a very important technique for many years.However,when these kinds of large dynamic subtrees appear,which abound in models of real-world dyna-mic software and embedded computing systems,the state explosion problem is too serious to be removed.In order to improve computing efficiency,this paper introduced an efficient,multiple-valued decision-diagram (MDD)-based DFT analysis approach.This approach restricts the state-space methods only to the subtree components associated with dynamic failure behaviors.By using multiple-valued variables to encode the dynamic gates,a single compact MDD is then generated.Finally,the failure probability is calculated to describe the reliability of the system.Applications and advantages of the proposed approach are illustrated through detailed analysis of a practical case study.
